This 1945 scrapbook page chronicles the Naval Academy career of Midshipman Dean Taylor alongside hometown newspaper clippings from Ohio and Michigan, including a Wooster College Girls' Chorus concert program and a photograph of the Academy's traditional June Week color ceremony. Such scrapbooks, carefully assembled by families, preserved the pride and personal milestones connecting home-front communities to the young men serving at America's service academies during the final year of World War II.
